Black Friday

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving day in US, when Christmas shopping begins.

While many worry about how to cook the big bird, others have something different in mind: to get the best spot in line for the Black Friday sale. Some people skip Thanksgiving to camp outside the store, others move their party to the campsite in the overnight waiting line.

I came to learn about Black Friday only in the last year, the term actually dates back to 1966. I managed to get up early to capture the long lines and was able to do some shopping. It was quite a scene. Those who stayed overnight seemed to have fun too. It could be dangerous in an excited crowd though. There was a case of trampling death last year during this event.

Frantab01, Black Friday is just that Friday after Thanksgiving but the sale seems to be extended forward and backward for couple of days, not till Xmas though. But there are all kinds of sale around holidays.

Wow, that's manic - didn't know about black friday - it's a great way to encourage people to shop till they drop - everyone loves a bargain :) hope you managed to get one toois it just one day of sales or till xmas
